Talk:Shibboleth (artwork)

Contradiction

Under the heading "Work": The sentence "The crack was made by opening up the floor and then inserting a cast from a Colombian rock face" contradicts the later sentence "Engineer Stuart Smith, who was responsible for the realisation and installation of the artwork, has since revealed that it was achieved by casting new concrete on top of the original floor slab." Also, the method purported by the first sentence of "opening up the floor slab" and creating a crack of that size would destabilize the building and thereby violate building codes. And how would one go about "inserting a cast from a Colombian rock face"? This sounds like an artistic fantasy which had to be modified by the engineering involved.
